OUT NOW –THIRD EDITION
OF FTMRC GUIDE TO GOOD
PRACTICE
One of the principle objectives of the Federation of Traditional
Roofing Contractors is to improve the workmanship standards of
installation and widen the technical design knowledge necessary to
protect the integrity of an installation.
The FTMRC was therefore determined to collate and publish a
comprehensive technical Guide to Good Practice in Fully Supported
Metal Roofing and Cladding, which was first published in 2007 and
updated in 2012.
In 2018 an even better, much extended and improved third edition
is now available in laminated hardback and in digital format
suitable for PCs, laptops, tablets and
smartphones.
Containing over 120 pages of technical
information, more than 150 illustrations,
plus tables, charts and full colour
photographs, this essential guide for
designers and installers is set out in
tabbed, easy-to-read sections which
cover the general detailing requirements
for aluminium, copper, galvanised and
stainless steel, and zinc roofing and cladding.

GREAT PRODUCT AND FAST LEAD TIME
Trendgrey Construction Limited is a successful building company
based in Warwickshire. Specialists in challenging construction
projects, they are also a long-standing customer of ARP.
Working on a project recently in Arlington Avenue, Leamington Spa,
Trendgrey Construction required an Aluminium Rainwater System
for a newly built three-storey property consisting of six flats and a
two storey-maisonette.
To ensure the project progressed smoothly, Nigel Hancock, Area
Sales Manager – ARP met with John Yates, the Quantity Surveyor
– Trendgrey Construction to discuss the extent of the project.
With over 100 metres each of gutter and downpipe, along with
associated accessories, it was quite a sizeable project.
Nigel visited site prior to the order being placed to make certain
that the swan-necks were set out and measured correctly and to
deliver samples of the product for client approval.
ARP’s Sentinel beaded half round aluminium gutter and Colonnade
flush joint downpipes were polyester powder coated to 7016
anthracite grey within ARP’s in-house PPC line and were ideal for this
project, as they are made from a naturally occurring material, which
is abundantly available, fully recyclable and non-corrosive. This
lightweight and easy to install system offers the new contemporary
style required for this building.
John Yates, Quantity Surveyor commented “Great product and good
fast lead time”.
